Manan Gupta — Software Engineer

I'm a Software Engineer at Supabase working on Multigres, an ambitious project to bring Vitess-style scaling capabilities to PostgreSQL. Previously, I was at PlanetScale where I was a maintainer of Vitess, the cloud-native, open-source database system that powers scalable MySQL deployments at some of the world's largest companies. I'm focused on building distributed database infrastructure that makes PostgreSQL scale seamlessly from single instances to thousands of nodes. I'm passionate about solving complex infrastructure problems and creating reliable systems that simplify life for developers. My work spans distributed systems architecture, database scaling solutions, and developer tooling. Some of my key contributions from my time at PlanetScale include leading the development of VTOrc, Vitess's high-availability component for automated failover and recovery; adding foreign key constraint support and atomic distributed transactions across shards; and building tooling to automate cherry-picks between Vitess's open-source and enterprise repositories to streamline code syncing and reduce overhead. I actively participate in the open-source and database communities through conference talks and technical sessions. Some of the sessions I’ve delivered include: - KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2022 - Scaling Databases With Vitess - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgSlmzC7O-E - KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA 2022 - One VTOrc to Rule Them All - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upmByX8uD6E - KubeCon + CloudNativeCon India 2024 - Introduction to Vitess - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM213WqA-vg - MySQL Belgian Days 2025 - Atomic Distributed Transactions - https://youtu.be/TjyzDlQEgdU?si=1SuEQNRwDBnRhxUq
